Action speaks louder than words. Trump, from Charlottesville to now. Trump is revealing himself as a closet white nationalist. On his election in 2016, neo Nazi's raised their arms in salute. They saw him as one of theirs. Were they wrong?. Trump has done nothing to dispel this opinion. In fact, he gives the impression that he is at heart a white nationalist because of the pattern of his actions, while his words give a reasonable excuse to cover what increasingly appears to be his real intent. The evidence for my deduction is the consistency of his actions. I am hard pressed to find any of Trump's actions that do not fit into this pattern of behavior. At every opportunity, from the Golden escalator to admitting white Afrikaners to the US while expelling brown and black migrants from the US, is a stark piece of evidence. (Remember when he welcomed Norwegans as his preferred immigrants in his first term?)The object of his disaffection consistently is people of color, brown or black. Consistency of action is evidence of his intent and bias. I fear, however, am stating the obvious in writing this.
Trump's anti-immigrant MAGA-pleasing policies and anti-DEI policies are being enforced by his DOJ and defying edicts. Trump constantly gets beaten down for violating the Constitution in the courts...but he gets brownie points with the part of his base who are also in sympathy with white nationalist policies. He is winning their support even by losing. The anti-DEI policies are being implemented by the Project 2025 authors he appointed to key positions in his administration. He is making the effort, and the "woke" disloyal to him judicial bench is the villain, which he also bullies and threatens on immigrant matters carried out by "his" DOJ or loyal federal prosecutors. Arresting a judge for helping an immigrant avoid ICE in her courtroom and charging a Black member of Congress are very recent examples ..Letting out of jail all, pardoning or commuting sentences of violent January 6 white rioters is a glaring fact that is hard to ignore.
How much of this anti-DEI stuff is Trump himself just being a racist? It was he himself ranting against brown migrants on one hand and welcoming white migrants from South Africa and Norway on the other. In campaigning in New England and Iowa in the presidential campaign of 2024, it was Trump himself who condemned immigrants at the border for "adultering our blood," straight out of Mein Kampf. At Iowa rally, Trump doubles down on comments about immigrants poisoning the nation’s blood | PBS News
